St. Stephen's welcomes those from any faith tradition who are seeking a church home. If you are already an Episcopalian, you can write to your former parish for a formal letter of transfer. For non-Episcopalians, the usual way to formally join our church is to be confirmed or received by our bishops. If you're not quite ready for this formal step, please know that you are still welcome to be a part of our church community

"Our Doors Are Open" The Bedford Presbyterian Church is an open and welcoming congregation serving the larger Bedford community for over 300 years.

Our mission is to create a place of welcome and acceptance; Discover, share and celebrate God's presence revealed through Jesus Christ; Reach out and support those in need; And grow spiritually and personally.

The All Saints’ community especially prides itself in its commitment to worship and preaching, ministry to children, and outreach to the community and the world. We enjoy being with one another in the presence of God. We are also a diverse group. Parishioners come from Briarcliff, Ossining, Tarrytown, Sleepy Hollow, Yorktown, and Irvington, among others. All Saints’ is made up of young families with children, retirees, singles, and teenagers. Some are life-long Episcopalians, others grew up in different faith traditions, and still others grew up without any church background. What we have in common is an understanding that our spiritual lives are never “complete.” We don’t have all the answers but enjoy thinking, praying, and questioning together as we grow in our knowledge and love of God.

Chabad recognizes no differences between Jews; its goal is to serve the spiritual and physical needs of every Jew regardless of affiliation, wherever he or she may be, with understanding and with love. Chabad's ultimate goal is that by uniting all Jews around the world, and inspiring many to become more aware of their Jewish heritage we can bring about the final redemption through the righteous Moshiach speedily in our days. Press "Blue Button" for more information about Chabad of Briarcliff Manor & Ossining.

Visitors who are not baptized Christians are still welcome to come forward during the Communion to receive the blessing of the priest. At the end of the Eucharist, the congregation prays once more in thanksgiving, and then is dismissed to continue the life of service to God and to the World.

Our meetings strive to be loving, nurturing communities. We celebrate diversity and encourage each person to find his or her true voice grounded in experience. We listen deeply to the Spirit and to each other as we seek to discern and embrace God’s will for us individually and as a community. We warmly invite you to join us at the Chappaqua Friends Meeting.

The First Congregational Church of Chappaqua has a rich history of ecumenism, which began with the coming together of settlers in a second floor auditorium, travels through many stages of building and growing through the years to end in the elegant, welcoming brick edifice it now occupies. Over the years the vicissitudes of time and demographics have caused the members to grow and change in many ways. Founded on the principals of the New England town meeting, whose precepts follow those of the Magna Carta, the Congregational Church allows and encourages each member to discharge the responsibility of informed opinion and devoted action, both during its annual meeting and in its various activities and board functions during the year.

Temple Beth El welcomes all who wish to participate in Jewish life: singles, couples and families in all their forms. In the words of our Senior Rabbi, Joshua M. Davidson, “The synagogue is a kehilah kedoshah, a sacred community. Like a sukkah, it is constructed of many different branches woven together: the young, the old, the rich and the poor, the married and the unmarried, single parents, grandparents, gays and heterosexuals, non-Jewish spouses. The broader the Sukkah’s reach, the more tightly its branches are woven, the stronger it stands.”

The first church that was built named the street which is still called Church Street. Many stone masons and laborers from Italy emigrated to this area during the construction of the Croton Dam (1892-1905), and their descendants are among the active parishioners of the parish to this day. The second church was built on Grand Street in 1898. In 1929, a third church was built adjacent to the second, and the older church was converted into a school. The Chapel of the Good Shepherd was also built in the Harmon section of the village at that time. The second and third churches were built of stone through the generosity of the Coleman family, who were the builders of the Croton Dam.

In 1990 and 1991, both the main church and Good Shepherd Chapel were remodeled and renovated. The school building was converted to be used as a center for religious education, daycare, and as meeting spaces for many parish and extra-parish groups. Because of increased need for meeting space of the ever enlarging religious education program, parish Montessori school, youth ministry, and parish ministry groups another large meeting space was added to the church/school complex in 2000.

We are an Episcopal Church, a branch of the world wide Anglican Communion, which includes an estimated 70 million people in 164 countries. We are proud to be a part of this global Christian family. Press "Blue Button" for more information.

Our parish family is a diverse group of people who come together to worship, to learn, and hopefully, to live lives that are deeply and authentically Christian. Today, All Saints' Episcopal Church is not only a beautiful church, it is a friendly, welcoming, and open-minded community of families and individuals, kids and seniors, longtime church-goers and newcomers.

Active church members come from throughout northern Westchester County, Putnam County, and even Connecticut. Currently there are approximately 465 members, and this congregation is therefore the tenth largest of 85 churches in the Hudson River Presbytery. While First Presbyterian Church of Katonah welcomes newcomers and has a largely young membership, many families of several generations attend services. When families who have moved from the area return to Katonah Presbyterian that often comment that they have "come home".

The church was designed by Hobart B. Upjohn, the son of architect Richard M. Upjohn, and grandson of Richard Upjohn, the acclaimed American Church designers. St. Luke's prominent location at the corner of the two main thoroughfares, along with an enormous evergreen that serves as the community christmas tree, have made the church a highly visible landmark and center of activity in the historic community of Katonah.

The Sunday Eucharist is the source and summit of our common life together. At the Church of Saints John and Paul we can share our gifts and talents with one another because we have been nourished by Word and Sacrament at His altar. We witness our love of Jesus in our daily lives by reaching out in compassionate service to the aged and infirm, to youth, to the spiritually poor, to the economically oppressed, to the hungry, the alienated, the lonely and the outcast.

We are the oldest church in the Village of Mamaroneck, but we are a forward-looking congregation. The comment we most frequently hear from visitors is how warm and welcoming St. Thomas is, and how much it feels like family. Our members reflect a wide variety of age groups, religious and ethnic backgrounds, as well as diverse races and family structures. Our doors are wide, and open to all. Are you looking for a spiritual home? Come and join us. You are welcome here.

Our meetings strive to be loving, nurturing communities. We celebrate diversity and encourage each person to find his or her true voice grounded in experience.

While Zen has its roots in the Buddhist tradition of China, Korea and Japan, it is a spiritual practice of increasing interest in the Western world. This practice is open to those of all traditions. Many find that this meditation serves to enliven and enrich their own religious faith.

Zazen (seated meditation) is the core of our practice. This involves working with body, breath and mind: entering into deep silence and stillness; opening to a fresh awareness moment after moment. Half-hour periods of zazen are followed by ten minutes of kinhin (walking meditation). We also join together in Sutra Chanting, Dharma study, and Caretaking (work-practice). All these practices are designed to help us bring clear attention and an open Heart/Mind into our everyday living.

Over the past 91 years the Church of St. Simon the Cyrenian has experienced God's love and blessings in countless ways. Our faith in prayer continues to sustain us. The blessings of God's love have surely enriched our lives together. We are a people of faith, hope and love.

Press "Blue Button" and meet our staff, browse the web pages about our various ministries and find out what the Episcopal Church of St. Simon the Cyrenian is all about.

It is an intimate parish, drawing its parishioners not only from other Episcopal parishes, but from Roman Catholic, and other Protestant denominations, as well as other religious traditions. Following the church service, an informal coffee and tea reception is held in the adjoining St. Francis' Cottage.

St. John's Church is unique in its makeup, and the congregation is made up of varied backgrounds, ages, denominations, sexual orientations, races, countries of origin, and more. Ours is an amalgamation of the living word of Christ Jesus.

We are a "small country parish" which harkens back to pastoral times and yet our outlook is contemporary. We enjoy intimacy with one another and our neighborhood as we seek to live vibrant lives of faith. We pride ourselves on being inclusive and welcoming to all - young and old, single and coupled, rich and poor, inquisitive and skeptical. We hope to find a deep spirituality and to be a force for good in the world and community. St. James preserves and respects traditions as well as honoring new events. We do this in our life of prayer, music and fellowship. In a time where so many seek community, St. James is a haven and home for many.

They work in their communities, in New York City and throughout the metropolitan area. They bring the presence of God into their families, their lives, their jobs and their communities. They are active in children's centers, housing programs, hunger programs, as fire fighters, in the schools and in municipal government. They work in the arts, business, the school system and health care. They are adults, children and young people, single and married. Press "Blue Button" to explore our website.

Today, Trinity is enjoying renewal and re-growth under the pastoral guidance of our eighth rector, The Rev. Canon Charles P. Pridemore. He is leading the parishioners to build on Trinity's liturgical roots in Anglo-Catholic worship, while proclaiming the Gospel of Christ to Ossining and the wider community. Our parish is home to people from different ethnic and cultural backgrounds, including families from Africa, the Caribbean, South America, and the fourth generation of a family from Ossining. We are single, engaged, married, widowed, gay and lesbian. Together we are a loving family known as Trinity Church, living our lives as Christ would have us live them.

The shul, which borders Peekskill and Cortlandt, has close to 200 families, many of whom come from Yorktown, Croton and Putnam Valley. We are proud of the recent renovations completed without having a building fee. We are proudest of our Hebrew School’s excellent reputation and the ability of our bar/bat mitzvah students to lead a Conservative service (with no outside tutoring). At First Hebrew, pride in our Jewish heritage is what we seek to pass on to future generations. Press "Blue Button" for more about the First Hebrew Congregation of Peekskill.

The Union Church of Pocantico Hills features stained glass windows created by two modern masters: Henri Matisse (1869-1954) and Marc Chagall (1887-1985). Commissioned as memorials by members of the Rockefeller family whose estate, Kykuit, is nearby, the windows include the final work of Matisse, completed just two days before his death, and the only cycle of church windows created by Chagall in the United States.

On behalf of his family, Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller commissioned Matisse to create a rose window in memory of his mother Abby Aldrich Rockefeller (1874-1948), a distinguished patron of the arts, a founder of the Museum of Modern Art, and wife of John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Before his death, Matisse had finished the design and had also selected the colors and exact type of glass to be used in the window. His daughter carried out his instructions, and the window was dedicated on Mother's, Day 1956.

David Rockefeller, representing his brothers and sister, commissioned Chagall in 1963 to design a similar memorial to their father, John D. Rockefeller, Jr. who had died in 1960. The large window "The Good Samaritan" was installed and dedicated in 1965. Chagall created eight smaller windows in the sanctuary, seven of which are devoted to Old Testament subjects. The eighth window, established as a memorial to Michael Rockefeller (1938-1961) who was lost in New Guinea, has a New Testament theme.

The mission of Westchester Reform Temple is to insure the perpetuation of the Jewish people and to cultivate a love of our Jewish heritage: God, Torah and Israel. We hope to realize this through: Avodah – worship of God in a Reform Jewish congregation seeking to offer a variety of traditional and evolving spiritual practices for the religious development and fulfillment of our members; Chavurah - an open, dynamic community of women and men of all ages and sexual orientations, families of all configurations and backgrounds, all committed to creating a warm and welcoming Reform Jewish congregation; Talmud Torah – an enlightened program of Jewish learning for all members, young and old; Tikkum Olam – commitment to the ideals of our Jewish ethical heritage and to the prophetic work of meeting our responsibilities to our community, our nation and our world; Clal Yisrael – strengthening of our commitment to Israel and the Jewish people of all lands and working to establish understanding and commonality among the various expressions of Judaism. Enjoy, and welcome to Westchester Reform Temple.

If you have never visited St. Luke’s before, we understand some of the questions, feelings, and even anxiety you might have about visiting a new church for the first time. A major purpose of this website is to help you assess whether an ‘initial visit’ to our parish might be right for you and your family. Please use this site to learn what the St. Luke’s experience is all about; what we believe in as Episcopalians, how we worship, how we enjoy a rich diversity of educational and fellowship activities, how we help the less fortunate, and how we offer a certain affability, openness, and responsiveness toward newcomers that they find refreshing and distinctive. Regardless of where your journey might ultimately lead, we hope that you come to realize that St. Luke’s is a church home that will always have a door open a door for you.

Children are an important part of our religious services. They, along with the music, add to a truly uplifting and joyous worship experience. At the Jewish Family Congregation, High Holy Days are particularly rich and meaningful. Enhanced by the JFC choir and the sheltering atmosphere of the large heated tent, about 600 individuals come together each year as a community to contemplate, atone, pray and renew ourselves.

St. Barts seeks to provide a sacred space to comfort and nurture all those who enter its doors. By being a place of rest, service and play through music and worship, we represent God's love for His Creation. First of all, we are a place of rest. On Sunday, during the Eucharist, you have more than an hour to recharge and connect. We are also a place of service. St. Barts offers the hungry food through its soup kitchen, a place of rest through its shelter, and spiritual nurturing to the disabled through its ministry at Schnurmacher Nursing Home. We operate a thrift shop that finances the charitable works of many organizations. We are also a place of play. We have regular dinners and concerts, form spontaneous music ensembles, and cook for each other.

The Episcopal Church is known for its beautiful and meaningful traditional liturgy as well as its openness to new forms of worship. Throughout its history the Church has been known for its commitment to social justice and to serving those in need. We are committed to seeking God through prayer, study, and learning from each other. We hope that you will find here a warm welcome, acceptance and friendship, and a way that leads you closer to God.

Our worship experiences are predominantly upbeat and celebratory. We view worship as a microcosm for the outside world and, as such, endeavor to include as much of the full gamut of human experience as we can - from joyous to sad, philosophical to emotional. Additionally, without organ or professional choir, our music is participatory and quite lovely, more often than not accompanied by guitar or some other instrument. Since Woodlands Community Temple members prefer to be part of the service rather than spectators to it, we make every effort - liturgically, musically, and spiritually - to involve us all deeply in it.

Our rabbis teach us that the world exists on the basis of three things - "Al HaTorah, Al HaAvodah v'Al Gemilut Chasadim" - on The Torah, Serving God, and Acts of Loving-Kindness. The Young Israel of White Plains has a strong allegiance to these three tenets. The mission of the Young Israel of White Plains is to provide a spiritual home where its members not only practice traditional Judaism, but also understand the importance of establishing and participating in programs which exemplify the ideals of Judaism.

The Young Israel of White Plains is a synagogue in which individuals of varying religious backgrounds, from those beginning to explore their Jewish heritage to those with yeshiva backgrounds, come together in the exciting process of building a Jewish community. The participation of each and every member is greatly valued, and new members are welcomed with open arms.

About half of the members at Mishkan Ha'am live in southern Westchester County and half live in the Riverdale/Kingsbridge area of the Bronx. At present, many of our ongoing programs take place at the the Reform Church of Hastings, 18 Farragut Ave in Hastings-on-Hudson, while we look for a more permanent home in the Riverdale-Yonkers-Hastings area.

The Episcopal Diocese belongs to a confederation of dioceses, which is known as the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America, which was formalized in 1789. The Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States in turn belongs to the Anglican Communion, an association of independent Churches that follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, and as such, uphold and proclaim the Catholic and Apostolic faith, based upon the Scriptures, interpreted in light of tradition, scholarship and reason. The Anglican Communion is historically tied with England. It is unknown when the Christian Church was first established in England, but in 596 Pope Gregory I sent Augustine, with approximately 40 monks, as missionaries. Augustine was later made the first Archbishop of Canterbury. The Church in England separated from Rome, after the Reform movement in 1570 when Pope Pius V excommunicated Elizabeth I. The Churches in the Anglican Communion regard the Archbishop of Canterbury as their spiritual leader, believe that they are a part of God's holy and true Church, and also affirm that God works in other communions and traditions. The Anglican Church strives for unity in fellowship and faith with these traditions.

We are located in northeastern Yonkers in the Colonial Heights area, and though only a few blocks from the bustle of Central Ave, St. John's can be described as a "country" church, full of warm, friendly, outgoing folks.

St. John's Episcopal Church is bound by our common love of God. Grounded in our worship of Jesus as Lord and Savior. Sustained through the power of the Holy Spirit. Nourished by Word and Sacrament. We commit ourselves to be a people that nurtures each other in faith; that leads others to share this belief; that reaches out with joy and compassion to those most in need in our parish, community and world; that seeks to establish justice, equality, and peace among all people

As God's people, the mission of First Presbyterian Church of Yorktown is: To invite all into a dynamic relationship with Jesus Christ through worship, prayer, study and fellowship; To work for God's peach, justice and human dignity by reaching out to the world in Servant Ministry.

Without a doubt, our community is a growing, fast-paced, energetic place to live. We at YUMC are desiring to not only keep pace with the community, but in spiritual family matters we would like to lead the way, helping people continue to grow in their faith and in their service to our Lord. We firmly believe that our faith should make a difference in the way we live.

Are Jews-by-choice and intermarried couples welcome? Can I make a difference? Are there family activities, adult education courses, Sisterhood, Brotherhood, and Youth Group opportunities? To all of these questions, Temple Shearith Israel answers, YES! You will find that our synagogue offers an open, caring environment reflecting the essence of Judaism.
